When A.C.T. goes wrong on a HobbyZone super cub

I have a hobbyzone Super Cub. One of my favorite park flyers. I Havent been flying for a long time, but I can usually fly with no issues. Today tho, the Oklahoma Wind picked up right after take off. When I started to lose control I flipped the A.C.T on. Im not sure but i think This added to the problem. I paniced which Im sure played a roll in the outcome. here is the video from the on board 808 Keychain Camera. Thank God I wrote my name & Number on the plane!!

It is designed to cut the engine power based on which sensor sees light or dark but does not work on cloudy days and realistically just make the plane harder to fly even as a noob because of the constant cutting in and out of the power.

Within a couple of flights I had cut all the ACT wires and removed the sensors and never looked back.

Do you have to add sensors to the plane? I am not familiar with it. I have seen the FMA autopilot in action--but that was several years ago. I have a Spectrum 6 I think and don't recall seeing anything about ACT.
